The presented study was driven by the interest of W9, a French TV channel, in the conspiracy theory case related to Melania Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HJKKYeJdTk&t=1239s. The TV channel provided us with a set of images of Melania Trump collected from social media, mainly Twitter, collected by journalists. These images were labeled by the social media users as the `real' Melania Trump or as the `body double'. Faces were detected using RetinaFace [1]} and only faces of Melania Trump were selected and then aligned. Figure REF  shows the preprocessed face images. At first glance, one could see that there is an important discrepancy between the two sets of images. First, the set of the alleged `body double' contains 6 out of 14 images in which Melania is wearing large dark glasses which covers up the ocular area, while it is the case for only 1 out of 16 images for the `real' Melania. In addition, one could see that the set of images of the `real' Melania contains images where Melania is captured with a smiling face, open eyes and proper illumination conditions, while the images contained in the set of the alleged `body double' of Melania seem to be taken from video recordings, where Melania appears with blinking eyes, head down and low illumination conditions.
